The Spy

Chapter 254 The Chairman's Order

"clear."

Zhao San replied that arresting people is the job of the action team, and this time the clue was discovered by the action team first, so it must be handed over to them.

Their webmaster is completely different from others. He never considers his own confidants first when doing things. The credit goes to whoever has made the contribution. As long as the contribution is made, rewards will definitely be given. How could such a webmaster not convince everyone?

Zhao San believes that Wuhan Station will get better and better in the future.

After receiving the order, Lu Gaowa specifically asked Gui Tianhai to carry out the task of arresting Yamashita Takeshi.

Among the three Japanese spies, Takeshi Yamashita has the highest status and is the most important.

Catching him would be a great achievement.

He personally led people to arrange for the other two people. Those two were experts in operations, so they needed to be captured with caution.

It’s not that we’re afraid of not being able to catch the person, but we want to avoid seeing our own people get hurt again.

Even a lion uses all its strength when fighting a rabbit, not to mention that the person they are trying to catch this time is not an ordinary person who has no ability to fight back.

The operation is scheduled for tomorrow at noon. When they come out, they will arrest people immediately.

The next morning, Xu Qingyun received a telegram from headquarters.

Agree to arrest.

Hu Deming is finished. He doesn't have a strong backing, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the deputy position all this time.

After receiving the telegram from Wuhan Station, the director immediately went to ask the old man for instructions. The old man was very angry that Hu Deming actually helped the Japanese to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun is an ace agent of the Military Intelligence Department. Although he has not been a member for long, he has made many great contributions.

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, he hoped that Xu Qingyun could help him contact Mr. Chen. At this time, Hu Deming was helping the Japanese, which was simply seeking death.

After receiving the order, Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry.

Now is not the time to touch Hu Deming. Once he is touched, the Japanese are likely to notice him, and Yamashita Takeshi and his men may escape.

They were in the French Concession, where it was much more difficult to arrest people than in the city.

The police in the French Concession would not just sit there and watch them arrest people.

It just so happened that Hu Deming was going to treat him to a meal today. Xu Qingyun believed that he did not really want to help the Japanese assassinate him. He did not have the courage to do so. If he died in front of him, he would be doomed as well.

But he actually helped the Japanese and set up a Hongmen Banquet.

Then let this banquet be his beheading banquet.

In the French Concession, Zhao San was still staring at them.

Yamashita Takeshi and the other two met up at noon and had lunch in the French Concession.

They carried a lot of luggage, which contained their various weapons.

There are two rifles, both of which have been tested and have the highest accuracy. Not to mention 80 meters, even at twice the distance, they are confident that they can kill the target with one shot.

There are also pistols, grenades, etc.

"The target left the French Concession."

Outside the French Concession, Gui Tianhai immediately reported that he had been watching at this surveillance point. The three men had driven out and this car had been spotted by them.

"Follow me, and be sure to pay attention. It's better to lose than to wake up. Wait for the signal before taking action."

Lu Gaowa instructed Gui Tianhai that there were eight people on Gui Tianhai's side, and it would be redundant to capture Yamashita Wuchuchu. He would personally lead a team to capture Zhulin and Qianchuan.

Including Zhao San's men, a total of more than sixty people were mobilized for this arrest operation.

The target can no longer escape.

But for Lu Gaowa, capturing them with zero casualties would be a real victory.

"Teacher, we'll go first."

When they arrived near the hotel, Takebayashi said to Yamashita Takeshi, and the two of them got off the car with their belongings. In order to hide the guns, they pretended to be carrying a lot of luggage.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

Zhao San also brought his men out. Today was the time to close the net. Even if he did not participate in the operation, he could be the first to see the target being caught.

Lu Gaowa had already deployed personnel at their shooting point.

Zhulin took Maekawa to the third floor first.

"My fellow, we are here from Shanghai to do business. We need to collect some goods here and would like to rent your house for half a month."

Zhulin speaks Chinese very well, but with a bit of a northeastern accent.

He studied in Northeast China, so it's normal for him to speak with an accent from there.

"No, we don't rent out our house..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhu Lin had already taken out twenty dollars and placed them in front of him.

The Kuomintang banned the use of silver dollars, and any silver dollars found would be confiscated, but they could be exchanged on the black market, and now one silver dollar could be exchanged for one dollar of legal tender.

He had dollars in his hand and could exchange them for legal tender at any time.

You can also exchange money at banks, but the exchange rate is one-to-one, so the price is not as high as on the black market.

"Half a month?"

The homeowner asked back, and Zhu Lin nodded with a smile: "Yes, at most half a month, but I have a request, you must move out first during this half month, and you can't stay here."

In fact, he only took half a day, that is, at night.

They won't be found tomorrow.

"no problem."

Considering the high rent, the landlord agreed. The house was not that big and normally would not cost a penny a month if rented out.

There is so much money out there now that homeowners can’t turn it down.

Deal with the homeowner and make him leave with his valuables. People's belongings are very simple these days, even clothes are not too many.

As for the furniture, it was very ordinary. Twenty dollars was enough to buy them two sets with some left over.

The homeowner happily left with the money.

It's a three-story building, and there are more than just the owner's family living there, but it's enough to deal with the owner, because they are the only ones living on the third floor.

Control the area leading to the rooftop on the third floor, so that they are not disturbed at the critical moment and ensure their safe evacuation.

"You stay here, I'll go over there."

After finishing this, Zhulin said to Maekawa, this is Maekawa's ambush point, his ambush point is in a house on the second floor, it is easier to deal with there.

"Victory to the Empire."

Maekawa nodded without any further ado. His "May you win" was both an encouragement to himself and a blessing to the bamboo forest.

"Wan Sheng."

Zhu Lin smiled and said that after the mission was completed, Yamashita Wuhui would celebrate for them in the evening, and this time they could eat authentic Japanese food.

These things were available in the Japanese Concession.

Drinking sake and eating sushi, it’s a beautiful thought.

Zhulin left alone, and Maekawa immediately began to make arrangements. They were going to perform sniping today, and it was already dark at half past six, but the lights at the entrance of the Xingyue Hotel were bright, which did not affect their shooting.

And after dark, it is easier for them to escape.

"Number one left, number two is on the roof."

Someone who noticed them from a distance immediately reported to Lu Gaowa that Maekawa had placed guns on the roof. In addition to rifles, he also prepared pistols and grenades.

"Go into the house and hide first. Don't let him shoot."

Lu Gaowa gave orders to his men, saying that this was a good opportunity, as they had already separated and Qianchuan was alone on the roof, so they should first sneak into the house he had just rented, and if he came down, arrest him immediately.

If he doesn't come down, wait for him to relax and then go to the roof to arrest him.

On the other side, the bamboo forest has reached the house facing the street.

"Fellow fellow..."

Zhulin came yesterday and met the two landlords and had conversations with them. After they left, Zhao San went over to ask them about this.

The person who comes forward now is still the homeowner.

However, the ten members of the action team have been hiding in the dark. The environment here is different from before. There are many people around, and now only Zhu Lin is left.

"Want to rent a house?"

The homeowner was not aware of the situation, and when he saw the ten dollars Zhulin handed over, he agreed without thinking.

"Do it."

The captain of the team made a gesture, and they were already camouflaged nearby. This place was next to the street and there was a large flow of people, which would increase the difficulty of escape, but it was easier to conceal, and as long as they ran fast, it would be an advantage.

Unlike the three-story building just now, the owner lives there, and if they appear openly nearby, they will be very conspicuous.

This is also the reason why Zhulin chose this place.

But he didn't expect that he had been exposed.

The four people who were walking around turned around instantly, formed two by two, cooperated tacitly, and rushed towards the bamboo forest together. By the time Zhu Lin reacted, someone had already grabbed his neck.

When the action team captures Japanese spies, they always control the leader first.

The rest of the team came to support. Zhulin's rifle was in his luggage, and he only had a pistol on him. Even the grenades were in his luggage.

"Team leader, we caught him."

The capture of Zhu Lin was very smooth, but he was seen by many people.

"Notify Gui Tianhai and arrest him immediately."

Lu Gaowa was very happy. As for Qianchuan, he was farther away and was inside. Even if he was on the roof, he couldn't see this side.

When the Japanese spies chose the ambush points, they were staggered so as to form a triangle with the Xingyue Hotel to minimize blind spots for shooting.

If no gunshots were heard, Maekawa wouldn't be alarmed.

"Yes."

Gui Tianhai got the news quickly. It was more convenient for him to go there. Shanxia Wu was used to being comfortable, so he didn't wait in the car. After parking the car, he went to a teahouse nearby, asked for a private room, and was leisurely sipping tea.

"boom."

The door was pushed open, Gui Tianhai rushed to the front, and as soon as he entered, he held down Yamashita Takeshi.

When he was caught, Takeshi Yamashita was confused. Why did someone catch him? When was he exposed?

There is only one Maekawa left.

Maekawa arranged the gun, lay down on his position and took a few careful looks. He was very satisfied.

This position is excellent with a wide field of vision. He is confident that he can kill the target with one shot as long as he comes over.

The gun remained on the roof and covered with something while he went downstairs.

It was still early and it was chilly up there, so there was no need to wait on the roof. They knew when the target would arrive, which was 6:30, so it would not be too late to go to the roof at 6 o'clock.

As soon as he entered the door, a dark shadow pressed down on him.

Like Takebayashi, Maekawa was pinned down without any resistance.

With intentional actions and several people acting at the same time, the three Japanese spies had no time to react and were all captured.

"Bring back."

The captain in charge of arresting people was very happy. This time, in addition to Fu Wenzhen, the other two teams also participated.

Fu Wenzhen caught a thief last time and found a Japanese spy, and is still monitoring the thief who is suspected to be a Japanese spy.

However, Fu Wenzhen can still get a reward of 30 yuan.

Since their action team has many people, they can select several first places.

"Stationmaster, they have all been captured."

Yan Ming and Lu Gaowa came to report together. Yan Ming did not go out today, and Zhao San was enough outside.

But he must come when reporting the results of the battle.

This time the case was jointly handled by the Intelligence Group and the Action Group. The Intelligence Group took the lead, but the greatest credit goes to the Action Group.

"Immediate trial."

Xu Qingyun stood up. This time he wanted to interrogate the suspect personally, as Yamashita Takeshi was an important person.

Like Tianjin Station, Wuhan Station only had two interrogation rooms, and the three people had to be interrogated separately. Yamashita Takeshi was taken to the main interrogation room.

"Mr. Yamashita, I have long heard of your name."

Xu Qingyun sat down and said with a smile, Yamashita Wu was also sitting and was not hung up.

"I am Xu Qingyun. I didn't expect you missed me so much that you came all the way from Shanghai to Wuhan."

Is this young man Xu Qingyun?

Yamashita Wu couldn't help but look at Xu Qingyun twice more. He was indeed young and looked like a student. Who would have thought that someone like him would be a serious threat to the imperial intelligence system.

“How did you know I was in Wuhan?”

After hearing what Xu Qingyun said, Yamashita Takeshi's first reaction was that someone had betrayed him. Very few people knew he was in Wuhan, and it was impossible for people in Shanghai to know him. The people who knew him were high-ranking officials in the Army Intelligence Department, so it was impossible for them to betray him.

Could it be that Takebayashi and Maekawa were caught when they went out yesterday and gave themselves away?
That doesn't seem likely. If that were the case, he would have been caught long ago and wouldn't have waited so long.

The only person left who knew he was in Wuhan was Tsukino from the Special Higher Police.

Did the Special High Police sell him out?

Or maybe there was a traitor in the Special Higher Police, and Tsukino failed to keep it a secret and betrayed him?
This is the most likely.

"See the torture instruments here? Since you have been a teacher in the spy training class, you should be very clear about the power of these torture instruments."

Xu Qingyun did not answer his question. What he wanted was for Yamashita Takeshi to speak. This person was very important and he knew a lot of hidden agents.

Not only Wuhan, but the whole of China.

Yamashita Wu closed his eyes. He knew what Xu Qingyun wanted.

"Torture."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any time talking to him. Zheng Jiming immediately raised the whip, and Shanxia Wu immediately let out a scream.

The call lasted for half an hour without asking him any questions.

"Yamashita Takeshi, how many sleeper agents do you have? Where are they?"

When the time came, Xu Qingyun asked directly, but Yamashita Wu still closed his eyes and said nothing.

However, the sweat on his forehead and his trembling muscles showed the extent of his pain at the moment.

"Go ahead, don't use the heavy stuff."

Yamashita Takeshi was in his forties and could not withstand punishment as well as the young people, so he continued to be tortured using lighter punishment methods.

Various torture instruments were used one after another. After more than an hour, Yamashita Takeshi fell into coma for the third time, but he still did not speak.

Another tough one. "Stationmaster, they said they only knew their own mission and didn't know where the hidden personnel were. Although Yamashita Takeshi was their teacher, he never mentioned other people to them."

Yan Ming whispered that while the torture was going on here, he and Lu Gaowa were also interrogating the two people in Zhu Lin.

Maekawa persisted for half an hour, but Takebayashi couldn't even hold on for half an hour, so he took the initiative to confess, but in the end he was still beaten for half an hour.

Even though they are two operatives and appear to be ferocious, the more ferocious a person appears to be, the more cowardly he may be inside.

At least their performance is no match for Yamashita Takeshi.

"Bring them here."

Xu Qingyun suddenly said this, Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the stationmaster wanted the two of them to help persuade Yamashita Wu so that Yamashita Wu would speak.

Among the three people, Yamashita Takeshi is the most important.

"Yes."

Yan Ming went to pick up the people. Zhu Lin and Qian Chuan were covered in wounds and were taken to this interrogation room.

Noticing their expressions, Yamashita Takeshi realized that it was not them who betrayed him, but the problem was most likely with the Special High Police, and he was killed by them this time.

The two men were obviously tortured. If they had betrayed themselves yesterday, they would not be like this.

"Teacher, as long as we do things for them, they promise not to kill us. Teacher, why don't you agree to that too?"

Zhu Lin spoke first, and Yamashita Wu's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and he roared: "Shut up, don't forget your oath."

Yan Ming looked at Zhu Lin, who had obvious fear and timidity in his eyes, and continued to persuade him: "Teacher, what's the point of the oath? These punishments are too painful, and isn't it better to be alive?"

"Scum, idiot."

Yamashita Takeshi continued to curse: "Do you think you can survive by surrendering? Don't forget that your family is still in the country. Surrendering will not only harm you, but also your family."

"Give him the electric chair."

Xu Qingyun suddenly shouted. Seeing that Shanxia Wu was still stubborn and Zhu Lin’s persuasion was of no use, Xu Qingyun finally used the electric chair.

However, given Takeshi Yamashita's condition, the electric chair cannot be used for a long time, otherwise he will definitely not be able to hold on.

"what."

Yamashita Takeshi soon let out a shrill scream, and three minutes later, the electric chair stopped.

Xu Qingyun frowned. He didn't expect that Yamashita Wu would have such a strong sense of resistance. From the current perspective, it would be impossible to make him speak after this punishment.

This was the fourth Japanese spy Xu Qingyun encountered who refused to speak.

He caught quite a few Japanese spies, but if calculated in proportion, the number was not low.

"Treat his wound first."

Xu Qingyun instructed that Yamashita Takeshi was the most valuable as he knew the identities of many hidden Japanese spies in the Army Intelligence Department.

If we could get him to speak, we could catch all these Japanese spies in one fell swoop.

At the same time, they also found out the traitors who were instigated by them.

If you don't speak up, you won't be able to get this valuable information.

Although it is impossible that all Japanese spies were in Wuhan, or even that there were only a very small number of them, it is definitely a great achievement to be able to catch all the Japanese spies in the Army Intelligence Department.

Xu Qingyun didn't care about the credit. What he wanted was the lives of these Japanese spies. Without their intelligence, the Chinese losses would be reduced in the future, and the Japanese losses would be greater.

This is Xu Qingyun's real purpose.

"Stationmaster, I didn't expect him to be so stubborn."

Xu Qingyun walked out of the interrogation room and Yan Ming followed him out. This operation was very successful and both of them confessed, but they got stuck at a critical point.

"It doesn't matter. Leave him to Zhao San. When his injuries are healed, we'll find another way to deal with him."

Xu Qingyun shook his head slightly. What he was thinking about now was the reaction of the Japanese Army Intelligence Department.

Through the confessions of Zhulin and others, it can be confirmed that Yamashita Takeshi's identity is very important and he knows a lot of secrets of the Army Intelligence Department. When the people in the Army Intelligence Department found out that he was in trouble, their first reaction should be to protect the hidden agent.

Their sleeper agents are not only in Wuhan, but all over the country.

The most likely possibility is to lie dormant for the time being and observe the situation.

There are too many hidden agents. If you evacuate rashly, it will be difficult to come back later. Lying dormant means finding a reason to hide temporarily. If nothing happens, you can come back again.

If this is the case, Yamashita Takeshi's value still exists. As long as he opens his mouth, he can still catch these people.

Even if some people evacuate, at least the traitors who were instigated by them can be found.

Yamashita Takeshi must not be allowed to die, and the supervision of him must be strengthened to the highest level.

Fortunately, the people in the interrogation team are working very seriously, and they have sent people from the action team to assist and ensure that Yamashita Takeshi has no chance to commit suicide.

"Pack up, we're ready to go."

All three Japanese spies were caught, but Xu Qingyun still had an important thing to do, which was to attend the banquet.

Hu Deming, that idiot, just called again, asking him not to forget the appointment tonight.

He was in a hurry to put a rope around his neck.

"Yes."

Lu Gaowa responded and said that today they were going to arrest someone, which was also the job of the action team.

This time, Lu Gaowa specially brought Gui Tianhai with her.

There are many people in the action team, and there are six first-place rewards every month. Gui Tianhai will definitely get the first place this time and will get an extra bonus.

Not only him, but also the two team members who discovered the bamboo forest with him can basically get first place this time.

The other one is Fu Wenzhen. The other four will definitely receive individual rewards.

The other more than one hundred people can only compete for the remaining two optimal indicators.

At half past six, Xu Qingyun's car arrived at the Xingyue Hotel on time, and Hu Deming was already standing at the door waiting.

Hu Deming was slightly stunned when he saw several cars coming. He didn't expect Xu Qingyun to bring so many people to the banquet?

What is he afraid of?
Thinking about how Xu Qingyun had offended a large number of people just after arriving in Wuhan, Hu Deming suddenly realized that Xu Qingyun was afraid of assassination. It seemed that this young man was not a reckless man and knew how to protect himself well.

"Stationmaster Xu, thank you for coming."

Seeing Xu Qingyun getting off the car, Hu Deming immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, being very polite.

Yan Ming, Zhao San and others have checked the area near the Xingyue Hotel to make sure there are no ambush sites where people could be present. The assassin from the Army Intelligence Department was caught by them, but the Special High Section still exists in Wuhan.

Hu Deming was invited out by the Special High Section, and they also knew Xu Qingyun's whereabouts today.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If the Special High Police also gets involved and the Army Intelligence Department doesn't know about it, the station chief will also be in danger.

Check all places, take precautions and leave no chance for the Japanese to take advantage.

Moreover, the people from the Special High Police really dared to come, so it was a good opportunity to catch a few more Japanese spies.

For them, catching more Japanese spies was always better, and no one would complain about it being too much.

"Go in and talk."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that there were too many people outside and it was not suitable for action.

Hu Deming only brought a few guards, and Xu Qingyun brought dozens of people, which was more than enough to deal with them.

"Chief of Staff Hu, I'm not a big shot, but your Hongmen Banquet is not well arranged."

After entering the room and sitting down, Xu Qingyun said with a smile. Hu Deming was still laughing at the beginning, but the latter words made him stunned.

Hongmen Banquet?
What does Xu Qingyun mean?
"Stationmaster Xu, I bowed. I didn't hear clearly what you said."

Hu Deming thought he had heard wrongly. He was sincerely inviting Xu Qingyun to a banquet to discuss something with him. If this matter was accomplished, it would be of great benefit to both him and Xu Qingyun.

"The chairman has given an order, and Hu Deming is taking it."

Xu Qingyun suddenly shouted, and everyone at the scene stood up straight when they heard Chairman Shi’s order.

"Hu Deming is bold and reckless, and is willing to be a running dog of the Japanese..."

Xu Qingyun didn't say much, but his point was just one: Hu Deming was working for the Japanese, he was a traitor and he must be arrested.

At this time, Hu Deming finally realized that Xu Qingyun was actually going to attack him, and hurriedly shouted, "Stationmaster Xu, I am not a traitor, I did not help the Japanese, please do not wrongly accuse me."

Lu Gaowa and others have already controlled Hu Deming's guards.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Gaowa and his men walked in, held Hu Deming down and searched him.

Hu Deming had no weapon on him.

He invited Xu Qingyun to dinner today, so it is impossible for him to carry a gun with him. What's the point of carrying a gun?

"Bring back."

Xu Qingyun stood up. He came here today to arrest people. If he arrested Hu Deming, the Army Intelligence Department would immediately know that something had happened to Yamashita Takeshi.

But even if they didn't catch him, since Yamashita Takeshi and the others didn't take action today, Tsukino would definitely know the situation.

The arrest of Yamashita Takeshi could no longer be concealed.

Hu Deming was gagged and forced into the car. He was only the deputy chief of staff, so Xu Qingyun had no worries about arresting him.

The people in the headquarters will verify with Nanjing, and as long as Nanjing tells them that it was the old man who gave the order, the people in the headquarters will not do anything.

There is no way they would rebel because of a deputy chief of staff.

Hu Deming was taken into the interrogation room.

"Xu Qingyun, what do you mean? I kindly invited you to dinner, but you arrested me and forged the chairman's order. Do you know what you are doing?"

After being able to speak, Hu Deming immediately shouted, and Xu Qingyun walked to his side: "Do you know Yue Ye?"

Hu Deming was shocked. Was it because of Yue Ye’s matter?

But he was not afraid. Tsukino did give him benefits, but this was beneficial to everyone.

"I know him, but you can't arrest me just because I know him. There are so many people who know Tsukino, can you arrest them all?"

Hu Deming asked back, Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head slowly: "It's not wrong to know him, but if you accept his benefits and help him assassinate me, you are betraying the chairman and the party."

"I didn't. You don't want to spit on others."

Hu Deming shouted immediately, and Xu Qingyun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he asked someone to bring Zhu Lin over and explained the situation in detail.

Hu Deming is finished. Yan Ming takes Zhao San to search his house and then escorts him to Nanjing to await the Chairman's decision.

The Chairman hates traitors the most, and Hu Deming is in great danger.

"Stationmaster Xu, I really didn't know. Yue Ye approached me and said there was a business we could do together. I thought it was okay and it was very profitable, so I agreed. I must ask for your help in this matter, so I invited you to dinner."

Hu Deming hurriedly explained. Yue Ye knew that Hu Deming was greedy for money. In fact, many people in the Guo Party were greedy for money.

He took the money and found Hu Deming. At first, Hu Deming didn't want to meet him. After all, the other party was an intelligence agent, and rash contact could easily get him into trouble.

But Yue Ye told him that she came to him for business. Yue Ye got a batch of cheap opium and wanted to do this business with Hu Deming.

The Kuomintang banned smoking, but the ban was like a piece of waste paper. If they couldn’t do it openly, aren’t there many people who did it secretly?

Hu Deming didn't care about it, but he had never been in the opium business before, and it would be risky to get this batch of opium.

Tsukino promised him that he didn't have to pay any money, he just had to establish the relationship.

When the time comes, I will give him 30% of the money I earn.

The amount of opium in this batch is not small, 30% is not a small number, Hu Deming was very tempted.

But to do this business, several units must be settled first, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

He is not worried about the police station. What he is afraid of is the Military Intelligence Department, which is in charge of them. If Yu Wenyi was there, he would not be worried at all, but now Xu Qingyun is in charge of the Wuhan station.

This young man is very powerful, we must deal with him.

These were deliberately guided by Tsukino to make him say them voluntarily.

What happened next was much simpler. Yue Ye told him that Xu Qingyun was not greedy for money, he was just young and wanted to climb up the ladder the most. By grasping his weakness, he could pull him down.

Even though Xu Qingyun returned the things he copied last time, he didn't return a single dollar.

Not only that, he only gave 60,000 to the police station and handed over 120,000. Where did the rest of the hundreds of thousands go?

Also, when he was in Nanjing, Xu Qingyun raided many people's homes, and the money was also not reported and was divided among them.

The same is true in Wuhan. How much of the money from the initial house searches ended up in the public account?
Xu Qingyun is not stupid. Could he have been promoted so quickly just by his merits?

Without money to bribe people, merits are of little use. There are many people in the army who have made meritorious services but have yet to make any progress. Aren’t there many?
Hu Deming had been in the military before, and he agreed with Yue Ye's words. As the profits were huge, he finally decided to take charge of all the relationships and make the money.

He immediately called Xu Qingyun, and after Xu Qingyun agreed, he immediately reported the good news to Yue Ye.

Before leaving, Yue Ye told him to communicate any situation in time. If Hu Deming wanted to make money from him, he had to tell him the situation.

"idiot."

After he finished speaking, Xu Qingyun snorted coldly and had him taken away.

Not in a prison cell, but in the dormitory at the back, where they found a clean room to put him under house arrest.

Hu Deming is a general after all, and he should be given the respect he deserves.

He was deceived, not really betrayed, but what he did was no different from betrayal. What the final outcome will be depends on his own fate.

Just send the person to Nanjing, he won’t ask any questions.

In the Japanese Concession, Tsukino has been waiting.

"Let someone come back."

At seven o'clock, Yue Ye sighed. In order to avoid being discovered, he did not send his men to the Xingyue Hotel. Instead, he waited a hundred meters away and listened for gunshots.

As a result, there was no movement until seven o'clock.

There were no gunshots, which could only lead to two possible results. One was that Xu Qingyun did not attend the banquet. Without a target, Yamashita Wu and the others would naturally not move.

But if Xu Qingyun didn't go, Hu Deming would definitely tell him, and Yamashita Takeshi would also notify him.

There is no news about these two people, so the most likely result is the second one.

The assassination attempt failed and the people from the Army Intelligence Department were arrested.

This situation can be divided into several types. Yamashita Takeshi is a supporting personnel. Has he been caught?
As for the operatives, they would definitely not be spared, otherwise they would have been shot.

And Hu Deming, has he been arrested?

Judging from the lack of news, it is likely that everyone has been captured by Xu Qingyun. This is also the result that Yue Ye was most worried about before.

In that case, there is no need for his people to continue waiting.

Arriving at the radio station, Tsukino sent a message personally, saying that Yamashita Takeshi was an important member of the Army Intelligence Department and he wanted to pick up the operatives. Tsukino disagreed at first, but Yamashita insisted on going himself, as this operation belonged to their Army Intelligence Department and they did not want the Special Higher Section to get involved.

In the end, Takeshi Yamashita was harmed by his arrogance.

Yamashita Takeshi knows a lot of secrets, and the Army Intelligence Department must be informed as soon as possible to avoid greater losses.

At the same time, in Nanjing, the director received a telegram from Wuhan Station.
